Features: The author claims this is a family education experiment built on hardship and tears. This book is written by a parent of a semi-literate background, who has devoted himself to researching the education of children with average intelligence. Using his two sons as experimental subjects, he focuses on cultivating their developmental potential, starting from the age of two and continuing until they go to university (with the younger son still in his second year of high school as of June 2004, preparing for the college entrance exam). The author breaks from the traditional practice of only revealing family education secrets after the children have achieved fame, boldly sharing his ongoing family education experiment with the world. The greatest feature of this book is that the experimental subjects are children with average intelligence, and the author does not teach cultural knowledge. The focus of the family education is on the high school stage. This is also different from the typical family education experiences published in the past. The author considers it a "family education revolution," with the focus of the revolution being the following aspects:
1. Believing that "quality-oriented education" also requires good academic performance, with good grades being the standard for measuring academic achievement.
2. Rejecting the idea that "early childhood education is the most important," opposing the teaching of cultural knowledge to children before they start school.
3. Denying the "primary school stage is crucial" argument, boldly proposing that everyone can skip a grade.
4. Rejecting the "high school stage allows for free development" theory, asserting that high school is the key focus of family education!
5. Criticizing the view that "computers are helpful for children's learning," pointing out that home computers have hindered the success of many children.
The author also introduces the struggles of his four brothers who achieved success through self-study in adversity. It was the author's own difficult youth and thirst for knowledge that led him to dedicate himself to family education. Over the past fifteen years, he has devoted almost all his energy to what ordinary people would find unimaginable family education actions. The author has also included some college entrance exam information he has collected over the years for readers to reference.
